Just a quick one to share some images from the opening night of my show. It was only when I opened these and had a look did I realise how many people came along. Thanks to Lachlan Gardiner for taking the images.

So my solo exhibition opened last night and I am so glad to say it was a huge success. With approximately 120 people through the doors and 8 images (6 limited editions) sold by the end of today and an overwhelming positive response to the images, I could not be happier. The best part was catching up with old friends, seeing people make new connections, and generally everyone having a fantastic time.

Nepal has long held a special significance for me, both personally and professionally. When I received my images from my lab after my first trip, I know I wanted to be a photographer full time. Many years later and my third trip, 2nd to Everest Base Camp, I am able to share my latest work with many wonderful people and show the essence of this amazing country and why it is so special to me. To have so many of my images printed so beautifully and on display was something words just cannot describe. So many photos rarely make it to the print stage it was great to see so many on walls.

Of course to make it all happen is no easy task, and I had many people working hard behind the scenes. Darren Jew from Living Image who did all my printing and what a wonderful result it was. Special thanks also to Ian Poole and Cam Attree (directors along with Darren Jew at foto frenzy) who also supported me in the image decision and layout process along with helpful advice along the way. Many friends and family came to the opening to support my work and the show, something I am so hugely thankful for. And of course my partner Belinda, who helps and supports me in ways that simple make it possible for me to be away from home so much following my passion. With the support I know I have, it makes being away from home just a little easier.

Of course, it’s not over yet. My exhibition is on show for the next few weeks so please be sure to head on down to foto frenzy to check it out. If you do, I hope you enjoy it. Take care….Damian
